It's hard to make out the details on this picture, so we have a larger version on our main SHOOT page. Dragon's ambitious space models have proven exciting for modelers, as demonstrated by two previous 1/400 scale items the Space Shuttles Discovery and Atlantis mounted on a massive Crawler-Transporter. (The SHOOT emblem is the dark round patch. This kit comes with a comprehensive set of decals, with different sized markings - for Atlantis, Enterprise, Discovery and Endeavour pre-1998 and also for Atlantis, Discovery and Endeavour post-1998. Joining the pointed ends is a flat piece, also white, with the SHOOT emblem. Probably as they sit either side of the Shuttle stack and give the setup a better perspective.

They're completely covered in white protective blankets, so it's hard to make out their shape. The dewars are the two objects that are roughly the shape of cylinders with cone-shaped ends in the center of the picture.

This shot looks down at the SHOOT dewars, sitting side by side in the Shuttle cargo bay. Looking for the kit You can get it direct from DragonUSA here.

A solid rocket motor for the vertical display of the space shuttle Endeavour is seen being lifted. From Bandai and their Tamashii Nations series - Space Shuttle EndeavourThe Space Shuttle Program was - arguably - the most sophisticated and complex enginee. The crawler is a huge vehicle that carries the Shuttle from the assembly building (where the orbiter is mated to the solid rocket boosters and the external tank) to the launch pad. The booster segments lifted on Tuesday in Los Angeles weighed just 104,000 pounds (47,000 kg).
